How the shipping container connected the whole world?

In the 21st century the planet Earth is no longer that big: telephone communications and the Internet, aviation and high-speed trains allow us to socialize and move in the shortest possible time. The same is true in trade: while before an overseas product was considered an exclusive for the richest, now it is nothing more than a product that can be bought in a store or ordered online. World trade has become the basis of globalization, that turned all of humanity into a single organism. And the blood of this organism can be called transportation, the basis of which is the universal cargo container - one of the most important inventions of the 20th century.

Thank you for watching!

Interesting how many people lost their jobs because of this innovation and how many people found new jobs due to this innovation

[santifresnel]

you are so spot on about globalization. It cannot be stopped. Some might try, hell, WE might try, but as any historical/genetic/industrial trend, it is unstoppable.

The shipping container put the Docklands out of business in just a few short years with how big ships got in the 60s.

4:22 Still the greatest skyline in the history of the world, 1930-1960 New York, the land of nothing but beautiful Art-deco towers, before more plain looking skyscrapers started to besmirch all skylings thereafter.

Awesome and enlightened to cost reduction. No matter where you live it allows growth of any country.

to be fair the steel CONEX box (Container, express) was developed for the korean war by the US Army from their previous experiance in WW2 with containers made of wood. Malcom McLean then reimagined that as the intermodal container with the capability to undertake sea voyages safely & securely.

It made loading cargo ships go from a weeks-long process to a minutes- or hours-long process with little human intervention

[santifresnel]

aaalso, maybe do one on drone swarms, from civ to military applications?

I am sick of the current economic system. It allows for so much unecological bullshit to take place that its hard to even comprehend. Why the fuck do we ship pieces of metal around the world when all the pieces can be made locally? (Not to mention that a lot of cars get discarded out of use purely because of new models coming in? Why dont we create cars that last 30+ years and are intercompatible in parts with all brands? Because of profit margins, price and price only!!! What reason does it make to reduce all that happens around a product into ONE number, currency with a single dimension, while other value information gets lost !!?? Its sickening to watch that this continues even in the 21st century with the amount of information technology we have at hand. Is it just greed or is it human nature or is it the limits of the architecture of the curent system?
